She

She

She kisses him goodbye with a smile on her lips And every woman watching knows She's feeling their pain but the smile's just for him To take with him wherever he goes She's got to be strong and hold it together She can't let him down while he's gone She'll cry in the night but when the sun's shining She'll just keep life moving along

She'll hold their son in her arms tonight And hope that she can explain Daddy had to leave for a 6 month cruise But he'll be coming home again She's a survivor and she'll keep on living The way the Navy taught her to do But every few days she'll take a walk by the ocean And know he's out there missing them too

She holds on to the knowledge that there'll come a day She'll hang a sign to welcome him home She'll stand on the pier with their son in her arms And know that she was never alone He was with her in spirit, in heart and in soul It only seemed like they were apart She'll kiss him hello and the smile on her lips Will reach all the way to her heart.
